Thread for accommodation questions for 09/10 entry - READ & POST HERE FIRST :o)

You are do lucky, I might try and call tomorrow and see if I can be out into Pollock... Chancellor's or Holland House

Do you that it is likely?

Hmm...I have an offer from Sciennes, had already accepted it and sent the direct debit mandate. Received an email confirming the latter. But in my MyEd thingy it still says that I still "have an accommodation offer waiting". Is that normal? :s

Do any of you know what the quality of the bedding packs you can pre order?

the same thing happened to me. once ud done the direct debit for the accommodation did u pay the £250 deposit and then sign the online contract? mine kind of timed out halfway through, as soon as id paid the direct debit, and if u dont do those things then u havent properly accepted it. i rang accommodation services and they sorted it out.

i still havnt got my accomodation offer.kinda freakin out

i applied for darroch/robertson/new arthur place.

but also I just rang the accomodation office to see why they're so late in making me an offer and she said I wouldn't get one for another week (even though it was promised before 31st august). and she said that because of the extra demand, even tho I applied for three self-catered single rooms and edinburgh was my firm choice that I could still end up in shared catered accomodation.


really not looking forward to uni if that is the case. really worried

Flat 9, Room 3, 2 Sciennes Place Anyone else living in Sciennes?

Do any of you know what the quality of the bedding packs you can pre order?

It's all 100 % (or at least close) polyester so not very comfortable until you get used to it. You get two sets of sheets and two pillows + a duvet. The duvet is really thick though, which comes in handy in the winter when you'll be living in private accomm next year and can't afford to pay for heating. I'd recommend you to bring or buy cotton duvet covers and pillow cases etc. as it'll make it so much more comfortable. I've been using mine for two years now and they've lasted fine.

Good stuff I'm in FC 553 which im guessing means Block 5, Flat 5, Room 3....could be wrong though?
